Scientific paper

Plasma density data obtained by the GEOS-2 satellite are used to study the refilling process in the plasmasphere and the relationship between the refilling process and magnetic activity (the Dst index). The average refilling rate of about 25/cu cm per day experimentally deduced for small absolute values of Dst is found to agree well with the corresponding refilling rate predicted using the theory of Lamaire (1985). It is suggested that the observed correlation of refilling rate with Dst index results from the modification of the composition of the topside ionosphere occurring after intense storms.
